Writer Between Worlds

Soulful writing about humans and places

“What we experience today as acceleration is only one of the symptoms of temporal dispersal. (…) Time is lacking a rhythm that would provide order, and thus it falls out of step. (…) The feeling that life is accelerating is really the experience of a time that is whizzing without a direction. (…)

Life is no longer embedded in any ordering structures or coordinates that would found duration. Even things with which we identify are fleeting and ephemeral. Thus, we become radically transient ourselves.”

Byung-Chul Han – The Scent of Time (Kindle Edition).
